Good Mo(u)rning, Italy

Dear readers of «Beyond Thirty-Nine», as you know I’m an Italian writer. But above all I’ll be, from now on, the host and producer of a new podcast which will be transmitted by Radio B39 and which I decided to call «Good Mo(u)rning, Italy ». Don’t worry: I can assure you that you’ll understand very soon why I chose, as a title, such a gloomy play on words.

Meanwhile I must confess to you that the programme in point will provide a fine opportunity for me to talk about my wretched homeland with distinguished interlocutors. I mean some highly-esteemed men or women of letters, born in my country and currently living there or abroad.

However they’ll be my welcome guests beginning only from the second episode, because during the first I’ll spend my time, and yours, briefly describing the present plight of Italy and declaiming a short prose work in which Giuseppe Prezzolini, who was a famous journalist, depicts the main feature of my compatriots’ nature. To learn how they really are (courageous? Honest? Generous?) don’t miss «Good Mo(u)rning, Italy » every Thursday and, at seven o’clock a.m., click on the donkey! (HKTime and CETime)

I’m feeling so alone because on behalf of my stupid mind’s will, I’ve let my soul die. My wonted, dear soul. But I can assure that each worrying night I rush in despair through the climbing paths of San Gemini woods…

PIETRO PÀNCAMO is a poet, short-story writer and critic, to whom the Italian Swiss national radio devoted, in 2012, an episode of the transmission Poemondo. His works have appeared in several periodicals, including «IF. Insolito & Fantastico» (one of the most influential Italian magazines of Fantasy and Science Fiction), «Gradiva» (a review edited twice a year in New York by the highly respected man of letters Luigi Fontanella), the Turin newspaper «La Stampa», «Poesia» (the poetry blog of the TV channel “RAI News”), the webportal «Poeti e poetastri» (belonging to the literary agency “Perroni&Morli Studio”, which often collaborates with the publishing house Bompiani) and the electronic version of the «Corriere Fiorentino» («Corriere della Sera»’s Florence edition). Some of his texts in verse were selected for Poetando. L’uomo della notte (an anthology edited by the Italian leading journalist Maurizio Costanzo and printed in 2009 by Aliberti editore).
